Losing Body Fat

Losing body fat is not near as difficult as keeping it off. When it comes to fat loss I have no problem in losing a few pounds here and there rather quickly. Anyone can lose a few pounds of weight just by eating sensibly for a week or more, and adding in some form of exercise.

That’s not a problem for me, the problem is that I need to have a change of thinking when it comes to how much food I should eat and what foods I choose to eat, and most importantly how I reward myself.

When I put my mind to it I can think rationally about my food choices and I feel good about myself for being able to take control of my eating habits.

Unfortunately most of the time I feel like I am the only one in this boat and the temptation of seeing everyone else being able to eat anything they want really gets to me.

Try as I may to think of how unhealthy they will be in the future while I will be fit as a fiddle, it doesn’t stop the temptations that can over power me if I let them.

Everywhere I turn unhealthy food is in my face… being advertised, at the movies, in most of the T.V. commercials, on the bill boards, on the radio stations. Have you ever noticed that when you can’t have something you want it has a habit of turning up everywhere just to tempt you?

Losing body fat has not been easy for me. I’ll be the first to admit and I’m here to tell you I’m a diet cheater. Do I ever feel guilty about being a diet cheater. Never! I’ll tell you why.

If I wasn’t allowed to cheat on my diet there would be no dieting at all for me and I know this. I feel quite strongly about being able to cheat on my diet because I have lost quite a few pounds over the last few months and I can contribute it to eating healthy meals and cheating on my diet.

Yes I know all about the importance of learning to love fruits, vegetables, salads and lean meats. I have learned over this past year to love them…but I also love my cheating snacks.

I am still losing body fat in spite of eating candy, ice cream, cake and eating out. My choices are getting better though by choosing to reward myself with diet candy, low calorie ice cream, low calorie cakes and choosing items on a menu that are baked or grilled.
